Did you forget?
No worries ...
It's a busy time of the year.
We have had but a few reports come in, so if you are part of any ministry within the church, please take a few moments to provide some of your most exciting ministry moments from our 150th year!
Wendy can accept reports through January 4th.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE
Since spring of 2018, St. Paul Lutheran has been looking at resuming an Education Committee. This committee will coordinate all aspects of education - from the youngest to adult education, including fundraising. If you have questions or would like to volunteer, please contact:
education@SharingChristsLove.org or show up on Friday, January 4 at 4:00 pm for an information meeting.

Unity Service at 9:00 am
The first Sunday of every month is being designated as Unity Sunday. We will worship together at 9 am with Sunday School following at 10:00 am.
Be sure to ear your name tags so we can all get to know each other.

Who's Who in the Pews?
Starting with our first Sunday in the New Year, SPLC will begin using
Who's Who in the Pews.
A clipboard will be placed in each Pew. Every individual and family will write down their name and whether they will commune during worship.
This NEW process
will not replace our usher counts, but will provide members and visitors the opportunity to let us know if they have current needs with prayers, visits, membership, or other requests found through the form.
This process will also assist the church in gathering pertinent information for annual reporting to the Synod.
Who knows? It may even provide some new ways to get to know each other and share stories of our Christian Faith.
We appreciate everyone's compliance with the process beginning in January.
